THE
MEANING OF THE SURNAME HOBLEY
A suggestion as to the meaning of the name "Hobley" includes the meaning "The little people from the meadow", derived from a combination of the words "hob" and "ley". From middle English, the word "hob" means a hobgoblin, sprite, or elf. The word "ley" means a grassy meadow.
Some people believe that Hob is a derivative of Robert and that the name Hobley suggests Robert's path or field. From old English, the name "Robert" means bright and famous.
Lord of the Rings
The name "Hobley" may have provided inspiration for the author John Ronald Reul Tolkien. Tolkien uses a derived name "Hobbit" to describe the little people from "The Shire" in the novels "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings".
